Trucker to be replaced by the Donna Brazil Truth Hour, Hannity by the Wallace News Hour and Ingram be replaced with the Juan Williams in-depth News Probe to root out any wrong thinking people still working at the “New Woke Fox, voice of Antifa!”

I can see it coming

[angcat]

Good because she sucks!

[eeriegeno]

None of it is news!!! All is opinion! And their opinions are opposed to what used to be the majority of their viewers! Soon they will realize that their two Brie dudes, Wallace and Stirwalt, pushed them over the top! It will be a long time for their wrists to heal from the Chris cuts!

Hank Johnson: “ebidence”.

[rdl6989]

I still watch Tucker and Hannity sometimes.

"Shadenfreude's Cat?"

LOL at Schrödinger's relief when he opened the box and the cat was gone.

He was basically accused of rape or sexual misconduct because he screwed some female lawyer when they were both drunk in an office in NYC. It was dropped because she was not credible, I believe, but it was not a good situation he got himself into and should have known better. Look it up and let me know what you think.

[Knocker]

How about resurrecting Alan Colmes and pairing him up with Hannity. That would sure add some viewer interest and provide a way to limit some Hannity’s disruptive interruptions.
Or, FOX could abandon their phony ‘Fair and Balanced’ slogan (if they haven’t already) and just bring in all leftist talking heads. That’s which way the wind’s blowing in DC & NYC anyway.

[offduty]

That’s a great idea...I hear he voted absentee in the last election.

Fox... "The conservative-leaning network..."

Here's the basic problem: Fox's original goal was never to be the "conservative-leaning network", rather it was as their slogan said, to be: "Fair and Balanced".
"Fair and Balanced" means we should see at least two sides to every issue, presented respectfully and roughly equally.

Fox only seemed the "conservative-leaning network" in comparison to the other alleged "mainstream media" which was and is increasingly lunatic Leftists.
But "conservative" wasn't their goal, it was only the effect compared to other Leftist propaganda outlets.

And we kind of liked seeing conservatives treated more respectfully than we get from the "mainstream" media, but we still had to put up with something like 50% Leftist nonsense from Fox.

Now along comes other news outlets even more respectful of conservatives than Fox and guess what?!
We like those even better!
I mean, why put up with Fox's 50% "fair and balanced" when we can watch news which is 100% respectful of our views and 0% kowtowing to Leftist lunatics?

Of course it's not quite that simple -- Fox still has some very reliably conservative voices and places like NewsMax leave something to be desired in their production values.

But, to pick two examples: Fox has never, ever, clearly explained how President Trump lost in November when he should have won by a landslide (Democrats stole it) nor have they told us who it was that invaded the Capitol, and why, after Trump called for peaceful protests (hint: not Republicans).

I hear The Donald may be out of a job.
Perhaps is Fox news hired The Donald as the head of news there it may be worth watching until and unless, go fish there Murdoch boys and their whore wives.

[bgill]

Here’s a crazy idea. Perhaps FOX could start reporting the truth instead of following behind CNN and MSNBC’s lies.

Ugh, after all these years of not having MSNBC on our cable, it appeared 2-3 days ago. Talk about timing.

[lakeman]

I like looking at her just not listening to her....

[webheart]

Hannity grates on my nerves. He’s always talking about what he thinks, what he will accept, all the bombshells, nothing ever happens like he says it will. He likes to get 2 or 3 people on for interviews and then they talk over each other for 15 minutes.

[hawkaw]

I agree but Wallace does not have a weekly show which is good. They still should get him off the Sunday show after his performance in that debate. Wallace’s antics along with Trump getting Covid, put Trump off stride.

I must admit I do like the news side of Fox News. It’s pretty independent. And I prefer independent news over right or left channels. I just want the news. Is it that tough?

As for opinion news, I have to be pretty desparate to watch any of them, though I did like Tucker’s work on Biden’s son.

[LilRhody]

Speaking of holmes, his death was a mystery. Had he been sick?

[LilRhody]

How did alan colmes die? Had he been sick?

[webheart]

calling women whores doesn’t make you look good. I would hope that before you use that term that you have some evidence.

[Pearfect]

Let’s drive Faux news viewership down to zero.

Then we can say :

WE,DID IT !!

[Pearfect]

Agreed new are not coming back

They stabbed us in the front on election night.

Let’s drive their viewership down to zero.

Than we can say :

WE,DIDMIT !!!
